Small Bug?
« on: 02 Jun 2013, 00:44 »
Hi. I'm new to Marketfeeder, and i've been testing it this past few days. So far i'm very happy with the potencial of it. However, one of the triggers i'm testing is reproducing what seems to me as a small bug, but i haven't put it in Real mode yet, so i'm not sure if it only happens in Test mode. It's just a small thing, but it's annoying.
This is what happens (in soccer matches, various market types):

1- The trigger places a bet half an hour before the off, a few ticks above current market price

2- A few minutes before the off, the trigger forces the bet to be matched a few ticks lower by the "match unmatched bets"

3- When the market gets in-play, it makes a "attempt to greenup" by percentage.

What happens is that the odds the "attempt to greenup" calculates seem to be based on the odds that were offered in step 1, instead of the odds that the bet actually got matched at in step 2.

A small example:

1- Back something  @ 5 with 10 euros

2- match unmatched bets, got the bet matched @ 4.8 with 10 euros

3- attempt to greenup at 10% should be lay @4.3 with 11.16 euros. Instead it's lay @4.5 with 10.67


Hope this makes sense, and keep up the good work! :)

I have always written my own green-up triggers.
Simply have a green-up  like trigger with the condition, number of runs > 0 of your back trigger.

Green-up trigger:
Set price at (bm_backa*bm_backp)/(bm_backa*1.1) where 1.1 = 1 + premium (in your case 10%)

Now set amount at bm_backp*1.1

I would use a constant named 'premium' at the start of your trigger so you can adjust easily during testing. You could also also for commission   
Improvise Adapt Overcome
